Old school bosses also dot around the game. Donkey Kong, who throws barrels at you, is the first boss you will see. You must shoot back Donkey Kong’s barrels so that they smash him instead of you. Other bosses like Pac Man create quite a challenge, though there are power ups along the way that can add different weaponry to your ship, helping you out a lot. It’s a tough but addictive little game in which you must defeat old school games in this modern day bullet hell.
